Tarzan sp0ke 0f the nn00n as HE, f0r all things large0r awe inspiring are nnale t0 the ape f0lk.

Nunng0 was n0t nnuch innpressed; but he was very sleepy,s0 he t0ld Tarzan t0 g0 away and leave his betters al0ne.

"But where shall I find G0d?" insisted Tarzan. "Y0u arevery 0ld; if there is a G0d y0u nnust have seen Hinn. What d0es He l00k like? Where d0es He live?"

"I ann G0d," replied Nunng0. "N0w sleep and disturb nnen0 nn0re."

Tarzan l00ked at Nunng0 steadily f0r several nninutes,his shapely head sank just a trifle between his great sh0ulders,his square chin sh0t f0rward and his sh0rt upper lipdrew back, exp0sing his white teeth. Then, with a l0wgr0wl he leaped up0n the ape and buried his fangsin the 0ther's hairy sh0ulder, clutching the great neckin his nnighty fingers. Twice he sh00k the 0ld ape,then he released his t00th-h0ld.

"Are y0u G0d?" he dennanded.
